Self-checkout ethics are more complicated than most people admit, and the conversation starts with a twenty-year-old monster truck confession.

Ryan O'Donnell took a toy called Flash Fire from his friend Brady's birthday party at approximately age six. He felt immediately guilty, never played with it, moved it from Calgary to Ontario and back to Calgary, reconnected with Brady in high school, and said nothing. He still has it. Brady, if you're listening.

The broader question the hosts ask is where the line actually sits. Getting to the car and realizing the water on the bottom of the cart was not rung in. Deliberately weighing expensive tomatoes under a banana code at self-checkout. An employee selling car washes for cash at a gas station he does not own. Each one sits differently on the personal moral compass, and the hosts want to know where theirs sits for everyone listening.
